I'll admit X-Factor did slide in quality, even PAD has admitted to that, that's why he's so adamant and determined about making this current storyline as awesome as possible.

I mentioned AXM because if it was any good, Ellis would be #1, but that's neither here nor there really.

Out of all the writer's you've listed I'd say only Van Lente comes close. Slott is slaughtering the good name of the Avengers, Pak writes all his characters so that they whitewash whoever their up against, no matter what, Bendis has overextended himself and will never be as good as his Alias glory days, Gage is good but has never been spectacular, Brubaker's been meandering on his MU books and the only one worth any cop is Incognito, Fraction's been on a serious downhill slide recently the more he takes on mainstream work and DnA are fan-servicers of the highest order.

Twigglet?

Slott's Avengers are the best they've been since Busiek btw.

And DnA are not "fan-servicers" in any stretch of the imagination. I don't even know how you could come to that conclusion, short of heavy medication.

Ed Brubaker says otherwise.

X-Factor has been too inconsistent. Past couple issues have been great, but there was a lot of crap prior to it a year or so ago.

If I was with you right now, Kitty, I'd pull out a nice fat rolled up blunt full of catnip and we could just sit back and relax and talk about the good old days when John Byrne was good and nobody had ever heard of Liefield.
